get_secure_template

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations exist, and the description does not disclose behavioral traits such as side effects, authorization requirements, or whether the tool is read-only. The description merely states the operation without additional context.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single sentence, which is concise but incomplete. It lacks structure, such as separating purpose from usage notes, and does not use the limited space effectively to convey necessary information.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The tool has no output schema, 3 parameters with low schema coverage, and no annotations. The description fails to explain return values, error handling, or usage patterns, making it insufficient for an agent to understand the tool's full behavior.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

With only 33% schema description coverage, the tool description adds no meaning beyond the schema. It does not explain the purpose of 'domain', 'language', or 'feature_type' parameters. The schema's description for 'domain' ('Domain context') is vague, and the tool description fails to elaborate.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description states 'Get a secure code template for a feature type', which clearly identifies the verb ('get') and resource ('secure code template'). It distinguishes from sibling tools that focus on analysis, design, or diagnostics. However, it doesn't specify what type of template or its format.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

No guidance is provided on when to use this tool versus alternatives. The description lacks context about prerequisites, appropriate feature types, or when to prefer this over other tools.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
